Voici l'odyssée désenchantée d'un informaticien entre deux âges, jouant son rôle en observant les mouvements humains et les banalités qui s'échangent autour des machines à café. L'installation d'un progiciel en province lui permettra d'étendre le champ de ses observations, d'anéantir les dernières illusions d'un collègue - obsédé malchanceux - et d'élaborer une théorie complète du libéralisme, qu'il soit économique ou sexuel.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the ten consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Men trade kingdoms for Shardblades. Wars were fought for them, and won by them.

Limonov n''est pas un personnage de fiction. Il existe. Je le connais. Il a été voyou en Ukraine ; idole de l''underground soviétique sous Brejnev ; clochard, puis valet de chambre d''un milliardaire a Manhattan ; ecrivain branche a Paris ; soldat perdu dans les guerres des Balkans ; et maintenant, dans l''immense bordel de l''apres-communisme en Russie, vieux chef charismatique d''un parti de jeunes desperados.
